# Dryer repair in Winnetka.

Large houses here often have a main laundry room and a second one upstairs, with premium dryers on pedestals. Long vent runs through upper floors, and exterior hoods where frost and snow collect, deserve attention every winter.

## What Winnetka does to a dryer.

Winnetka's first houses were built in 1836, and the village was first subdivided in 1854.

Its oldest surviving house, the Schmidt-Burnham Log House, was moved to the Crow Island Woods in 2003.

At the 2020 census Winnetka had 4,459 housing units, 6.5 percent of them vacant.

A colonial Georgian house built in the 1920s at 671 Lincoln Avenue became known worldwide as the Home Alone house.

### Gated communities

Large homes in gated communities often have a full laundry room with the dryer on a pedestal, and sometimes a second pair upstairs near the bedrooms. Each dryer has its own vent run, and the upstairs one is usually the longer and harder to clean.

### Designed laundry rooms

A designed laundry room often places the dryer where it looks best rather than where the vent is shortest, and a run that crosses a ceiling or turns several times is a common reason a new, high-end dryer takes too long.

### A second dryer

A dryer added in a garage, basement or cabana to handle towels and linens works in harsher conditions than the main laundry, and its belt, rollers and thermal fuse tend to need attention sooner.
